I am assuming that you have the dual control climate system and not the poverty spec one. Sounds like you have one of your heater valves jammed. They can be usually freed up with a tap with a hammer. This picture gives you an idea what to look for. The heater valves are located on the inner nearside wing. Replacing it doesn't look too bad, more awkward access if anything and refilling and bleeding the E39 cooling system can be a challenge. Andrew |
